Taylor Tannebaum, who has been an anchor/sports reporter at WTHR since June 2018, is leaving the station to pursue another opportunity.
He announced the move in an interview with WTHR’s Dave Calabro. He hasn’t announced where he’ll be going, saying only that “you can still watch me on TV from Indianapolis when that happens.”
Tannebaum came to Indianapolis after spending the early years of her career as a sports reporter and anchor in Alabama (WTVY News 4 in Dothan and News 19 in Huntstville).
Cracks, threats and untraceable calls: Women who cover TV sports share their stories
When she arrived in Indianapolis, she was WTHR’s first female sports anchor. She says she feels a duty to amplify women’s voices.
“I feel an obligation to make sure I’m covering women in sports,” Tannebaum told IndyStar in an interview earlier this year. “I feel like I need to be covering the Indiana Fever, good or bad, at least a little more than last year. Part of my job is to amplify voices that aren’t being heard. Sometimes during Operation Basketball, I’ll go get a girls’ game because they deserve to shine too. There are times when I feel as a woman in sports, my job is to amplify their voices.”
